Highly-Rated Twin Cities Metro Area Plumbing Company

Plumbing problems have a way of disrupting everything. A leaking pipe can damage cabinets and flooring. A slow drain can turn into a backup. A water heater can stop working right before everyone needs a shower. Some issues are obvious. Others develop quietly until they become impossible to ignore.

Genz-Ryan has helped Twin Cities homeowners keep their plumbing systems working reliably since 1950. Our licensed plumbers diagnose the problem, explain what they find in plain language, and recommend repairs that fit the condition of your plumbing, not just the symptom you noticed.

Our plumbing services cover nearly every part of your home’s plumbing system. We repair leaks, clear clogged drains, replace water heaters, install water softeners, service sump pumps, repair water lines, install gas piping, and handle sewer and drain problems. If the issue turns out to be connected to another part of the system, we’ll explain that too, so you have a complete picture before any work begins.

Complete Plumbing Services for Your Home

Plumbing problems can affect everything from clean water and hot water to drainage, basement protection, gas appliances, and everyday fixture use. Genz-Ryan provides plumbing service for urgent repairs, planned upgrades, and the systems that keep water moving safely through the home.

Backflow Prevention

Backflow prevention helps protect the home’s potable water supply from reverse flow that could allow unwanted water or contaminants to enter clean water lines. This service is especially important for homes with irrigation systems, boiler connections, or plumbing setups where cross-connections may create water quality concerns.

Drain Cleaning

Slow sinks, backed-up tubs, clogged floor drains, and recurring blockages often point to buildup inside the drain line. Professional drain cleaning removes the obstruction, restores stronger flow, and helps determine whether the issue is isolated to one fixture or connected to a deeper drain or sewer problem.

Emergency Plumbing

Urgent plumbing problems do not follow business hours. We provide 24-hour emergency plumbing support in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities for active leaks, burst pipes, sewer backups, and other problems that need prompt attention. Call day or night to discuss the situation and arrange the next steps.

Frozen Pipe Repair

Minnesota winters can freeze vulnerable water lines in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages, and poorly insulated areas. Frozen pipe repair addresses damaged piping, restores water flow, and helps reduce the risk of another freeze-related failure in the same area.

Gas Connections

Gas plumbing must be handled carefully for appliances, fireplaces, ranges, grills, dryers, and other gas-powered equipment. Professional gas connection service helps make sure the line, shutoff, fittings, and appliance connection are installed safely and correctly.

Kitchen and Bathroom Upgrades

Kitchen and bathroom plumbing upgrades can improve daily comfort, fixture reliability, and long-term performance. Replacing faucets, sinks, toilets, showers, tubs, shutoff valves, supply lines, or drain connections can also help correct aging plumbing before it becomes a larger problem.

Plumbing Repair

Plumbing repair covers common issues like leaks, running toilets, dripping faucets, low water pressure, damaged valves, noisy pipes, and fixture problems. A proper repair should address the cause of the issue, not just the visible symptom.

Sump Pumps

Sump pumps help protect basements and lower levels from water intrusion during heavy rain, snowmelt, and groundwater changes. Installation, repair, replacement, and backup pump options help keep water moving away from the home when the system is needed most.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand instead of storing it in a tank. Service may include installation, repair, flushing, maintenance, or replacement for homeowners who want efficient hot water performance and the right system capacity for their household.

Water Heaters

Traditional tank water heaters supply hot water for showers, laundry, dishes, and daily routines. Repair, replacement, installation, and maintenance help address inconsistent temperatures, leaks, sediment buildup, pilot or ignition trouble, and aging equipment.

Water Line Repair

A damaged water line can affect pressure, water quality, yard conditions, and the reliability of the home’s plumbing supply. Water line repair focuses on locating the issue and restoring the main supply line or affected section safely.

Water Softeners

Water softeners help reduce hardness minerals that can leave scale on fixtures, affect water heater performance, and make cleaning harder. Installation and service can improve how water feels while helping protect plumbing equipment from mineral buildup.

Signs You May Need a Plumber

Not every plumbing issue is obvious right away. If you notice any of the following, it may be time to schedule a professional inspection:

• Unexplained increases in your water bill

• Water stains on walls, ceilings, or floors

• Persistent drain clogs or slow drainage

• Low or inconsistent water pressure

• Discolored or foul-smelling water

• Sounds of running water when fixtures are off

• Frequent plumbing repairs or recurring issues

Addressing these problems early can help prevent more extensive damage and costly repairs.
